Wheel Tree Press is proud to present Improv Techniques for the Gaming Table, a series of workshops to help roleplaying gamers take their tabletop experience to the next level! Each session combines an intensive workshop of improv techniques used by actors on stage with a practical example of play at the gaming table. Our instructors not only have extensive performance and teaching backgrounds, but also well-established nerd credentials. Expand your roleplaying horizons with skills to create kickass characters, establish meaningful relationships and develop stories that sing. Great for both GMs and players!

The workshop takes place at the new Strawdog Theatre space (1802 W. Berenice Ave). Lunch will be provided for all participants.

In this skills based workshop, participants learn a variety of techniques to quickly and effectively support and elevate choices made by other players at the table as well as making and using relationships to spur storytelling and problem solving in game. Participants will be encouraged to take action – just do it, don’t talk about it!

About Pixy Belmont-Leo
Pixy Belmont-Leo has been both and improvisor and a gamer since her own awkward adolescence. With training from both Second City and ComedySportz, Pixy specializes in making improv easy, accessible and fun, using games and exercises that set up the players for easy success while teaching specific skills in a stress-free environment. As a gamer Pixy is a renegade and a rogue, delighting in departing from the quest to see what’s off the beaten path. She often rolls up tiny, nimble characters whom invariably get drunk, mouth off to an ogre, and get squashed before they can reach level 10.

We’ve hit our next Kickstarter stretch goal and are excited to announce that Eric Simon and Julia Bond Ellingboe will be writing primers for people interested in playing SCUP in non-Western European settings! We are thrilled to be working with both of them on additional materials for the book.

By popular demand, we have added a retailer tier for the US and Canada. If you are or know someone who works for a brick and mortar game store, we’ve got you covered!

Wheel Tree Press is delighted to be an official sponsor of B-Fest 2016! Eric and Megan can’t wait to see everyone and enjoy 24 hours filled with the “finest” b-movies! We also can’t wait to give away some copies of Greenlight! You’ve got THREE chances to win:

1. We’ll have a copy of the game in the annual B-Fest raffle, so hold on to your ticket!

2. We’ll be challenging everyone at the festival to play a round of Greenlight! Pitch us your best idea for a reboot of a handful of movies pulled from the annuls of B-Fest history – the rules and instructions on how to enter will be posted at the official B-Fest table just outside the auditorium. Entries will be accepted through noon on Saturday, and we’ll announce the winner during the intro to our festival selection, Kansas City Bomber!
